To complement the Wilco thread.

I think anybody would be hard pressed to beat this one:

Love "Mystifies Me."

Poor Jay Farrar. Talk about crashing and burning.

Son Volt, with the Bottle Rockets and Richard Buckner, cover Dylan.

I've been partial to "Picking up the Signal" of late.

"windfall" is probably top of the pyramid, and "mystifies me" is a great cover (maybe better)

but, "live free" always reminds me of when i met my wife (i wanna see your smile through a payphone)

"damn shame" is a great solo song -- especially the memphis remix

i saw him do a killer cover of the kinks "i'm not like anyone else" and then a few months later a painful, cringey reggae version of "life worth living" at irving plaza

i've seen him in various incarnations and that last show was one awful experience, i really hope he turns things around ... the last few tours/shows had really predictable setlists and a really flat vibe ... i had to tap out with the booze cruise concerts a few years ago
